Chapter 726: A cold heart
"Yunxi, didn't your mother die in childbirth when she gave birth to you?"
"No, my mother is not dead, my mother is still alive!" Rong Yunxi said, "My mother is from the Snow Country, she just returned to the Snow Country!" But there are too many connections in this, and I can't say it clearly for a moment. Your Majesty, I must see my mother! I have to see that she's safe! Can you help me? ”
Seeing Rong Yunxi's eyes glistening with tears, and hearing her say, "You help me, okay", the suspicion in the emperor's heart has really been shaken, and only an iron nail is left to support it. An iron iron is bound to support this edifice, and it will collapse in an instant.
But when I thought of last night's note, I thought of the second brother saying that this game would be over...... What is the end of the game that the second brother is referring to? Is it referring to today's events?
This was the second time she begged him, the first time, yesterday. But yesterday he didn't say yes. And today? Will he say yes today?
"Murong Yan means to let me lend him elite soldiers to help him return to China and seize power. If I would borrow troops, he would leave the man in this portrait behind; If I refuse to lend it to him, he will kill the woman in the portrait before returning home. "The emperor said.
"Lend him troops ......" Rong Yunxi held the emperor's hand tightly and slowly let go......
She knew that this was not an easy decision for a king to make.
Seeing Rong Yunxi hesitate, the nail in the emperor's heart that had been supporting it was already so fragile that it would break if it was just a gust of wind.
"Your Majesty means ......" After hesitating for a moment, Rong Yunxi tested the emperor's meaning.
The emperor's heart, which had been loosened, became a little stronger because of this temptation, and everything was invisible.
Her temptation showed that she had the intention of letting him borrow soldiers.
"What does the queen think?" The emperor asked rhetorically.
Hearing him call her "queen" so estrangely, Rong Yunxi had already expected what the emperor meant-the emperor didn't want to help with this.
Also, if you think about it, will Murong Yan's move be a deception in itself? Maybe Murong Yan didn't catch his mother at all, he just made such a portrait to scare people. In this way, if they were scared by Murong Yan, wouldn't it be too cowardly?
It is true that the emperor is reluctant to borrow troops, but the emperor's attitude is ...... For some reason, Rong Yunxi always felt that the emperor was reluctant to borrow troops, not because he felt that this matter was strange, but because he was unwilling to do it for her in the first place. Even for her, the emperor refused to use the country's troops.
"The concubine hopes that His Majesty can help investigate this matter thoroughly, at least to determine whether Murong Yan is deceiving us, or if he really holds the concubine's mother in his hands. If it's the latter...... The concubine hoped that His Majesty would temporarily accede to his request for the sake of the future. Rong Yunxi expressed his meaning very clearly, and did not detour.
The emperor leaned back in his chair and still looked at Rong Yunxi so deeply, as if Rong Yunxi's face was covered with a huge mystery, as if he couldn't understand it for a long time.
Rong Yunxi has ignored the emperor's reaction, she just wants to make her meaning clear, as for what the emperor will respond, it is the emperor's business. What she can do is to try to explain to him as truthfully as time permits. Her meaning, of course, is also part of the truthful explanation.
"Yunxi, do you know that lending troops to him is not just as it seems on the surface, losing some of my Wind Country's troops?" The emperor asked, his voice calm.
was asked so seriously by the emperor, Rong Yunxi was really asked. But after thinking about it for a while, I understood what the emperor meant.
Lend troops to Murong Yan, the troops in the Wind Country are naturally less, if there is an opportunity to invade from other places, what should I do? There is no guarantee that Snow Country has not negotiated with other countries, and there is no guarantee that this is not a trick set by Snow Country itself. After all, above the imperial power in the country and the hegemony of the world, the hegemony of the world is heavier. As for the imperial power in the country, wouldn't it be better for them to settle their own affairs after the situation calms down?
"But...... It was the concubine's mother-in-law...... The concubine hopes that His Majesty will at least be able to investigate thoroughly. If the mother is really in their hands, His Majesty can at least help the concubines try their best to rescue their mother. Or, His Majesty will set the concubines free and let the concubines check on their own. Rong Yunxi said.
In fact, in her heart, she would prefer the latter. originally didn't want to involve the emperor. But now seeing the emperor's attitude, Rong Yunxi can't help but feel a little chilled.
The emperor looked at Rong Yunxi quietly for a long time, got up, and said, "I will go back and send someone to investigate, and I will tell you when I have eyebrows." You can rest assured that you will wait in the palace. ”
The emperor felt that it was really a mistake to come to Yilan Palace. As soon as he saw her face, his heart would be confused, and he couldn't tell anything. It's better to think quietly by yourself, and don't want to see her attitude, the more you look at it, the more confused you become.
"Your Majesty......" Rong Yunxi stopped him, but when he stopped, he didn't know what to say to him.
He's already said he's going to check, isn't he? If so, what else could she ask?
But why, her heart was so panicked, and vaguely, she felt that this was perfunctory.
"Your Majesty...... Do you really know how to check? Rong Yunxi asked.
"You don't joke." The emperor said.
"Yes, I believe it." Rong Yunxi said this firmly, and gave him a salute as a sign of congratulations.
The emperor looked at Rong Yunxi for a long time before turning around and leaving.
Rong Yunxi heard the door closed, and Fang slowly got up. Somehow, I said "I believe" on my lips, but in my heart, I still didn't believe it. This sense of uncertainty is so obvious that Rong Yunxi feels terrible and ridiculous.
The guards outside the palace still hadn't withdrawn, and nothing had changed since he left her such an unreliable, unpromising promise.
Old problems are not solved, but new ones are added.
Rong Yunxi slammed open the door, rushed out, and stopped the emperor who had just walked to the gate of the palace: "Your Majesty...... When will I find out the results? ”
It's a pity that the tacit understanding between them is gone, and she has to ask for confirmation of his words.
The emperor looked at her for a long time and said, "I said that I would wait until there was an eyebrow." ”
"When will the lockdown be lifted?" Rong Yunxi asked again.
"It depends on when the queen mother can find out the results." The emperor said calmly.
Rong Yunxi's heart cooled down a little, but she approached him step by step......
Standing in front of the emperor, Rong Yunxi looked up at him and looked into his eyes...... After staring at it for a long time, he said, "That's my mother, my biological mother." Her life cannot be delayed. ”
However, after a soft sigh, the emperor raised his hand to touch her cheek and asked, "When did I deceive you?" ”
Indeed, he did not. Rong Yunxi's heart softened again.
"Wait obediently, I'll do it as soon as possible." The emperor patted her on the shoulder, his eyes locked her eyes deeply, and turned to leave.
Rong Yunxi looked at his back in a daze...... I feel that it is a pity and I hate myself very much.
Rong Yunxi suddenly discovered that in fact, the problems between the two of them have always appeared in her. Because she only believes in herself in everything, and is unwilling to put her own destiny and the fate of those related to her into the hands of others. Even if this person is her husband, in front of the things she cares about very much, she can't do everything and just let him arrange. The words she once said about believing in him and being willing to rely on him were actually just nonsense words that could not be reached, just a few nonsense words from herself.
The palace door closed, and Rong Yunxi was trapped in a cage again. He should know that what she is most afraid of is becoming a caged bird, that is, she can't control her own destiny, but he wants to touch her bottom line.
Since marrying him, Rong Yunxi feels that her bottom line has been touched again and again, and she has repeatedly retreated and compromised.
Originally, she couldn't tolerate other women around her beloved, let alone other women in his heart at this time; Originally, she wouldn't have done the thing that would ruin people's lives, but she still helped him and harmed Yi'er; Originally, she disdained to compete with others for favor, but since Qin Yingyue entered the mansion, has she only done less to compete for favor?
Originally, she would never have been imprisoned like this, but now she ...... Before this moment, she was reluctant to escape with a drunken dream, and she was reluctant to fall out with him.
The bottom line has been broken again and again, if it weren't for the sudden awakening at this moment, Rong Yunxi really didn't know how far he could retreat. Once he woke up, Rong Yunxi suddenly found that at this time, the person who was standing in this deep palace and looking at the cold palace gate was so strange. She didn't recognize herself anymore.
It's only been three years since she married him, and looking back, she can't remember what the woman who was in front of the general's mansion and talked about the conditions with him politely.
Once, what she hated the most was to live dependent on men. When she was a girl, she warned herself countless times, but don't live like many poor women in the world, don't ask for men, don't rely on men, but unconsciously, she has relied on him to live, and unconsciously, she said to him so easily, and twice.
Probably because of this, he ignored her request and didn't take it to heart at all. Who cares about a woman who is attached to herself in order to live? It has not yet come over time, but from the current point of view, what he wants to give her, what he promised her, has not become the meaning of charity?
He said let him wait, she could only wait, he said no, she couldn't ask for it again.
What's wrong...... What the hell is going on...... How did she end up like this?
"Miss, it's cold outside." In early summer, seeing Rong Yunxi standing in the yard in a daze, he said distressedly.
Rong Yunxi smiled faintly and returned to the house with the early summer.
Chu Xia was very worried about Zhiqiu's situation, but when she saw Rong Yunxi like this, she knew that she was unhappy to talk to the emperor, and she didn't dare to ask anything for a while. I could only pour a cup of hot tea for Rong Yunxi and let her warm up first.
"Counting on the emperor, I'm afraid it won't work." Rong Yunxi held the tea in his hand, the heat in his palm, but he couldn't warm the cold in his heart.
"Is Your Majesty still refusing to help?" Early summer asked.
Rong Yunxi nodded. His attitude couldn't be more obvious.
"Miss, it's better to ...... us" Chu Xia gritted her teeth and wanted to say, "It's better for us to keep going", but when I thought of Miss's love for His Majesty, I didn't dare to say it.
"It's better for us to stop doing it and save Zhiqiu by ourselves." Rong Yun Xi Road.
"Miss......" was a little surprised in early summer.
The young lady has always acted steadily, and the words of such excitement are not like they were said by the young lady.
But her ears are not wrong, and the young lady does say "don't do it twice".
"Miss, what are we going to do?" Hatsu asked. Although I was surprised, I also felt that the young lady didn't say it casually, she must have made a decision in her heart.
"Even if we can use drunken dreams to grow out of Yilan Palace, once we are discovered, I am afraid that we will be arrested before we reach the Shen Criminal Division", Rong Yunxi sighed, "Even if we want to use this method, we can only wait until the dead of night." ”
